Christmas Eve at Our House

 No appreciation for fine music!

 It was warm so the girls spent some time in the back yard

 And then time at the park climbing

 Santa even came to visit. The first words out of Katie's mouth "That's you Uncle Bob"!  We all thought he looked completely different.

 Gift time

That huge box is chocolates for Grammie

Katie's Preschool Holiday Prgram

 The program started with a Prayer

 Katie had a line to say

 And then quickly back to the rest of the kids

 After the program we went to her classroom for cookies and punch

 Kailyn helped her pack up so we could go home

Katie cleaned the tables of their glitter before leaving the school

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Thanksgiving Day

We all went over to the Orlinsky House for a mid-day meal. Had a wonderful time as you can tell by the pictures.

 Katie likes to climb the Cat Tower

 Kailyn and Kalissa are giving Dustin some attention

 Karen is enjoying a cup of coffee while the girls help

 Grammie finally sits down for a quick rest

 Stuart is carving and Kathy's dishing up -- it's almost time to eat!!

 Bob's reading Katie a Thanksgiving book, well, a book about turkeys

 Leaving Time

Harvest Celebration

We went to Katie's Preschool for their Harvest Celebration. 

 After the performance, we went back to Katie's room for pumpkin pie with Kailyn

 Katie made a Thanksgiving Placemat

Katie, me, Kailyn in front, & Stuart

Today was Disney Spirit Day at Kalissa's school

She's Captain Hook

Kailyn and Stuart have a birthday party today

Since Kathy and Stuart still don't have a kitchen (or sink) due to the kitchen remodel, Stuart's cousin let them celebrate at his place in Moorpark. Everyone had a great time. Weather was perfect.

Entrance to the Rose Gardens

Hula Hoop Time

On the way over to the island to feed the fish

 There's catfish, gill, bass and some other types plus turtles

 They jogged back to pool area (the favorite spot)

Katie prefers the dry areas -- she doesn't like to get her head wet

Mother and I found a shady area 

It was a very active afternoon!
